Regal GS Steering wheel

I've been looking for one like this in dark red for my Roadmaster. I think these are sharp, still look somewhat modern, and will replace the stupid half leather-half plastic stock wheel. All the ones I see at the yards are shot from the Texas sun. Please be on the lookout folks!

Also, these came on the 89-90 LeSabre (boxy model) with the Gran Touring Suspension option. Rare as hens teeth though. The LeSabre models used our older-style GM round steering columns so the base is round, not square. This would be IDEAL....but again, real needle in a haystack now.

I do like the 80's Grand National wheels and the Reatta wheels, but this just looks a little more modern with the solid leather curved spokes.

Please keep your eyes peeled when yarding! Thanks!

Mike I have seen these before but didnt mention it because I figured that they were not sporty
enough for you.I will be on lookout from now on though.

I love these, especially compared to the stock wheel, which I think is cheap looking and ugly.

If you find one, I bet my dad would be interested in your stock wheel.

Food for thought.

i love the buttons on mommy's fancy ford wheel,..
here's a buick one,.

Weird wheel Nick, all the power toys but no leather?? FAIL!

Is the turn signal stock red?? That's different!

Hey Mike my old 93 Regal had that steering wheel and yes it too had the red cruise,wiper and
turn signal control.Would this type of steering wheel be suitable for your wagon?
Let me know

Nope!

Leather 3-spoke Regal GS or 89-90 LeSabre with Gran Touring Susp, with the curved leather spokes.

http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/ I had this place recover the wheel on my 89 Custom Cruiser and they did a great job. If I can find a good red Regal GS core I'll send it in and have it re-done.

I saw an ad from Craftcustoms from down in texas.They do steering wheels,dashboards and
seats.Their site is great with lots of pics of their work.Not cheap but impressive work on steering wheels.Think from Austin,look them up Mike!
Jim Gordon

Will do and thanks for the heads-up!

http://www.craftcustoms.com/ - They're up just east of Dallas as well.

We get screwed in little 'ol Austin. I have to go to Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio for struff like this.....but the folks in the "big" cities are jealous of our hills and music!

Mike you have the technology to make that steering wheel the correct color.

True, but I think I'd rather get a cheap wheel recovered than spend $150 and have the wrong color to start with.

Can send your wheel or a sample to Vinyl Pro and he will computer match it

My SEM'd door panels so far still look great but not sure how that stuff would hold up on a leather-covered wheel....between sweaty hands and the Texas sun I think I'll try to have a salvage yard one recovered in red leather.

Those folks up in Dallas did nice work. This wheel was all rotten on the top and they did a total recover for me.



Lucked out on a good used original wheel for my '92 OCC. Came from California and the leather was nearly perfect.

Yeah that scares me on my Roady door panels. At least it's just the lower panels that needed to be re-done, and the inside handle trim is mostly in the shade.

I remember you showing me your seats at the fall roundup. Did you clearcoat them?

See 2:35 in the vid for a good view of the steering wheel I want for my Roady. PLEASE be on the lookout during your salvage yarding gang!
